"I wanted to express our thanks you and your staff for all of your assistance with our retreat. This was our school's first staff retreat and, it was a very rewarding experience for our teachers. Kent Manor is a beautiful facility and provided the perfect setting for us to rejuvenate and contemplate the beginning of another school year.

I appreciate the attentiveness of the Kent Manor staff, particularly Stephanie who did a wonderful job of ensuring that our time at the facility was enjoyable. This was a very rewarding experience for us and our teachers returned motivated and more empowered to meet the demands that a new school year brings.

As you know I was uncertain about our ability to accomplish this event due to the constraints of our budget. Without your encouragement and willingness to work with us, this retreat would not have become a reality. "

The Kent Manor Inn hosted our annual summer sales/marketing meeting and company picnic. The meeting space was wonderful and the staff excellent. We had many specialized requests and the staff at Kent Manor handled each with efficiency and grace. The rooms were spacious and beautifully appointed, while sitting out on the verandas listening to the frogs and the crickets brought back memories that took me back home to my early farm days! Thanks for making our meeting so great!

From the moment I stepped out of the car at Kent Manor Inn I relaxed. I would loved to have stayed longer and plan to return.

Kent Manor is a great get-away for a business retreat! Our group had a great team-building experience in a relaxing and beautiful atmosphere. The service and food were wonderful and the overnight accommodations make you feel special.

From the minute you wind down the lovely road and see the impressive building that is the Kent Manor Inn you know you are in for a treat. Our small group meeting (13) was the perfect size for your beautiful dinning room. With the assistance of perfect weather and your good natured staff we relaxed and found leadership direction for our team of administrators. Our rooms were comfortable and elegantly decorated. We all loved the history and charm of the Kent Manor Inn.

What a wonderful experience working with the staff at the Kent Manor Inn & Restaurant. Our meeting was held in the beautiful Garden House, this made the meeting so open and airy. Everyone raved about the food and professional staff members. I look forward to using your facility again.

I wanted to let you know how pleased the I was with the staff and location of Kent Manor Inn for our meeting last month. The Garden House was a perfect location, provided a refreshing view of the water, and a relaxed atmosphere for our meeting. The staff was wonderful! They were extremely
efficient, helpful, and courteous. I have to thank you, especially, for making the planning of the event stress free and pleasant. I would definitely consider using Kent Manor Inn for future events!

On Thursday, November 4th I held our annual office retreat at the Kent Manor Inn for the first time. I just wanted to let you know how pleased I was with everything especially the help I received from Chris Phillips. I've done many of these retreats over the years and she's a cut above anyone I've ever dealt with in the past. She's very knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and her follow-up is second to none. The other thing I really appreciated is being able to call her and have her answer her phone herself. Never once did I get voice mail. Talk about customer service.

This lady could write the book. She's a great asset to your company.

Everything went perfectly. Your staff was very cooperative. Your chef is to also be complimented. My people are still raving about his crab cakes. I think we cleaned out the Chesapeake Bay of crab that day. The waite staff was excellent. Several of our people booked rooms the night before. All were very pleased with the accommodations.

We're already talking about coming back again next year. Please thank all involved. They helped make the day a huge success.

Looking forward to using your facility in the future.
